Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 136,0S7, dated February 1B, 1573.

To all whom vit may concern:

Be it known that I, J ONATHAN H. MORRI- SON, of Marlborough, ofthe county of Middlep sex, and State oflllassachusetts, have invented anew and useful Shoe-Sole-Edge Setting or Shaping Tool; and do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification and represented in the accompa nying drawing, ot' which- Figure 1 is a side elevation; Fig. 2, a bottom view 5 and Fig. 3, a longitudinal section of it.

Common setting tools are made with a single shank and handle, in which case a tool of such kind, when in use, has to be grasped and worked by one hand alone ot' a Workman.

With my new or improved tool he can employ bothhands in its operation-it having two handles arranged on Shanks at opposite ends ot a stock, and with the shaper or setter disposed at or near the middle of the stock. At or near the setter the stock is formed with an offset or bend, to enable it to ride or extend up over the upper of a shoe, and the setter to be brought into proper contact with the edge -of the sole, particularly at the shank partthereof.

In the drawing, A denotes the stock, which is a metallic bar, it being formed with the bend or oset, as shown at B. The setter or edge-shaper is ,shown at O, as arranged at or near the middle of the bar A, which terminates in two shanks a a provided with handles D D', all beingas shown.

The new tool not only can be directed or operated to better advantage, comparatively speaking, but with less fatigue to a workmanthe power required to press and move it on the edge of a sole being exerted by two hands instead of by one only.

I make no claim to a sole-edge setters. tool `provided with a single handle.

I claim as a new manufacture- The sole-edge tool composed of a stock or bar, A, the sole-edge shaper or setter G, and the two handles D D', arranged as represented, the shank having the oit'set, all substantially as described.
